[Just outside Rock and Sea dungeon]

[Samurai Jacks point of view]

It's been a week or so since the princess and the other departed from Estel, the same amount of time (give or take one to two days) we are trying to breakthrough this silver barrier without any notable results. We didn't brought that much of food supplies to begin with as it was only a normal monsters and devils subjugation to begin with, and now

"You guys really have it tough" [Princess Nurhaliza]

The convoy from our neighboring country, Malsia own princess (Princess Nurhaliza or like Princess Diana simply call Haliza) come to lend us her aid. Some of us decided to ask the aid of Malsia in this time, as more helping hand and brain will usually translated to better and faster for us to solve this issue

"Sorry for taking your time, your highness, even when your country got it own share of problem, but we are grateful nonetheless for your help" [Bladel]

Bladel, the Valkyrie Captain, extend her gratitude

True. Not only Estel, even Malsia, Kiserre, Beastman and Demon Kingdom are plaque with the issue of fake doppelgangers infiltrating their rank, it just that our country suddenly have this silver barrier erected alongside the aforementioned problem

"Don't worry, Diana, Ash and the other had came to our aid multiple times in the past, think of this as my country way of paying back our gratitude" [Haliza]

"That's true, though I must said, the timing of this barrier couldn't be more suspicious" [Naoto]

"Based on the political turmoil of your country, I can deduce who is behind all of this" [Malsia's adventure guild master]

"I am not that involve with political stuff, but truly, even I can tell who the primary suspect is" [Female elf adventure]

"That is rather. True." [Kadeus]

I can tell most of us think of the same person

"Well, without "Concrete" evidence, we couldn't do much" [Kana]

Kana emphasize the word concrete. Apparently, we found out through them that the first prince killed Sir Ceanu Reaves, live when they're having their usual video conferences, which naturally make us all suspect him. That in itself is more tham enough for us to suspect him but

(Is that really all there is to it?) [Jacks]

Maybe it is. Maybe is isn't. Either way, that doesn't change the fact that we need to find a way back inside our country as soon as possible

"It's the usual time" [Lily]

Lily, who has been waiting in front of the communication stones, alert us. 

Even when all hope seems lost, there is some silver shining ray of hope as this communication stones allow to communicate with those inside through unusual mean

Liyana will use her ice magic onto Serpie to summon some low class slimes golem to this communication stone, and molded it into a word or code that we can understand, and in return, we do the same. That way we can update each other about our current progress

"So, what did they say this time?" [Kanji]

"I see" [Swordman adventure]

"They're trying to use Bobunny as well huh" [Borg]

"If that's the case, your geographical knowledge should come in handy here, Mr Qudus" [Seo Ah]

"I'll try my best" [Qudus]

[Inside Diana's hall]

[Ray point of view]

"I must said, I only ever saw Mr Alaric before, but never saw all of you before" [Ram]

"True. Still, for a hidden vampires guard, Mr Alaric been standing out quite lately" [Valkyrie Junior A]

"That, we couldn't agree more" [Vampire Guard A]

"Though we are glad he get the recognition he deserves" [Vampire Guard B]

We are currently here to discuss our role in this situation, and true enough, the first thing that all of us address is

"We couldn't find any way out from the country" [Junior adventure]

"That's right. Even the family I serve does not have any clue regarding any hidden passage" [Noble knight]

"Which make this situation even worse" [Guard C]

"Surely there must be something, but what..." [Crow]

As we keep pondering, a playful fairy come and try to enlighten the mood

"Cheer up guys. If you keep doing this, the atmosphere will dampen like Lou Carcolh is here" [Fairy]

Lou Carcolh, a Serpent snail like monster. It varies in sizs and shape, but usually, a pack of them will constitute as an A rank threat. 

(Lou Carcolh... Where did I...) [Ray]

Strange... It feels like it hit home closer than I think it would, hearing about it

(Where did I...) [Claude]

(Lou Carcolh...) [Alice]

(It feels like some memory trying to resurface) [Erinmorlin]

(Hold up...) [Lisa]

(Isn't that when...) [Flinar]

And not only me, even Mr Claude, Mrs Lisa, Alice, Mr Flinar and Mr Erinmorlin think of the same thing, which could only mean it is something related to the orphanage, or

"""""That is it!!!!!!""""" [Ray, Alice, Claude, Lisa, Erinmorlin, Flinar]

All of us simultaneously shout. From the looks of it, each one of us have the same idea

"Claude, mine telling us all what happen?" [Filvisar]

"Sure. Though of course, it might get block as well..." [Claude]

"It's worth the try" [Ray]

"That is correct" [Flinar]

"Though we can't cover it all... Not with our current number" [Erinmorlin]

"If it's number, why don't we deploy Bobunny? In fact, that rabbit golem is the perfect choice in this situation" [Lisa]

"What say you, Claude?" [Alice]

"Of course, I'm sure Bobunny wouldn't mind" [Claude]

We get ourselves one plan already

"So... Mind telling us all?" [Ram]

"Oh, pardon us. We get ahead of ourselves" [Lisa]

"Am I late to the meeting? It looks like you get yourself a brilliant idea" [Mile]

Mile come back just in time

"Sure. Remember the endemic situation 7 years ago?" [Ray]

"Yeah, It was cause by Lou Carcolh ruining the water supply run by the duke family. Why do you ask that?" [Mile]

"I see... Worth the try" [Ram]

Look like Ex Guild Master Ram get the gist of our plan . Even the hidden vampires guard caught on

"Thank you for it, little fairy" [Flinar]

"I don't know what happen, but I'm glad I was able to help" [Fairy]
